Got 20K Followers? Then You, And ONLY You, Can Take A Photo At This Melrose Pop-Up Mural For ‘Influencers’

In a town that that’s filled with selfie-friendly murals and that even has a museum dedicated to the narcissist in all of us, this one is on a whole other level of social media effrontery, at least for the Insta-laypersons.

Vice writer Justin Caffier posted a photo of himself in front of “a new security-guarded mural in LA that only allows influencers and verifieds to take pics in front of it.”

Caffier said the mural is located at 7753 Melrose Ave., which places it in L.A.’s trendy Fairfax District. He said the mural is slated to remain until June 27, though he doubts “it will remain unvandalized for that long”.

Lotta mural question DMs so lemme just share what I know here:– address is 7753 Melrose Ave.– it’s up from now until 6/27 (tho I highly doubt it will remain unvandalized for that long)– it’s 20K followers OR a verified check to enter– your reggo friends gotta wait outside

The sign indicates the pop-up is the work of “Like And Subscribe.” The users behind the account mentioned in the sign tweeted several photos late Monday afternoon saying it was “Disappointing to see a few verified influencers getting upset about the mural. There is no reason to be mad! We created it specifically for you. Instead of the negativity, come down and take a great photo!”

Today we are so excited to debut the beautiful mural we curated in the heart of the LA art scene. Come down and check it out. Unfortunately the mural is currently for verified influencers and people with over 20k followers only. However it may be public soon. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/CRIzqaAhX8
